On Feb 7, 2020, Daszak sent an email to Colwell with a list of people they want to approach to sign the statement, including Osterhaus, Koopmans and Haagmans. Haagmans signed it. Koopmans will not.
The question remains; why not?
12. "Ask Marion" Part 4

"Koopmans liked it all. Whether it was China’s repeated delay of the mission, the lack of raw data, China’s veto over the composition of the team Marion Koopmans did not speak a single word of criticism"
"I strongly suspect that this successful Gain-of-function investigation by Ron Fouchier is the reason why Marion Koopmans and he did not sign the letter to The Lancet"
13. Funding
" For Koopmans and Fouchier too, if it were proven that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had escaped from the WIV, it would have disastrous consequences getting funds for Gain-of-function experiments with influenza viruses, just as it would have for Ralph Baric"
Unfortunately, there is no direct proof provided by Redfield in this new interview, but he cites engineering features, early data, and classified information.
🧵3. Summary of Redfield's Statements
(on SARS-CoV-2 Origins & Cover-Up)
He claims SARS-CoV-2 originated from GOF research in a lab and emphasizes a significant US role alongside China.
He views this as a major biosecurity failure with ongoing suppression of transparency.
"Of note, the spike protein of this novel bat coronavirus possesses a functional FCS at the S1/S2 junction with a unique amino acid sequence motif (RDAR) that differs from that found in SARS-CoV-2 (RRAR) by only 1 amino acid."
"The molecular biology capabilities of WIV & the genome assessment are consistent with the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab-engineered virus that was part of a bank of chimeric viruses in Zheng-Li Shi's laboratory at WIV that escaped from containment"
Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created full-length a infectious clone in pBAC-CMV using an unpublished bat Coronavirus genome as template (BatCoVX)
page 85
3. Hypothesis 3:
Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created chimeric Bat-CoV-X viruses using the pBACCMV-BCOVX backbone and swapping out key cassettes with other bat Coronaviruses (RBD, RBM, etc.) and adding additional features such as a furin cleavage site
We need to find out why Peter Daszak & EcoHealth had In-Q-Tel backing and why Nathan Wolfe (an obvious intelligence asset with links to Epstein/Maxwell, Boris Nikolic, and Bill Gates) was on their editorial board.
